What is everyone's top five tracks that motivates you and pumps you up, whether it be the calm before service or cooking at home?

Whenever I'm in the kitchen, I hear these five at least once a day, and it keeps me rolling!

Karnivool - Aeons

Days of the new - Flight response

Lifesavas - Hellohihey

Korn - Blind

Mammal - Smash the pinata

I'm a fairly metal orientated person, however hip-hop, Jazz-funk and the blues are also genres I love.

I'm interested to see the music tastes that help inspire you all in the kitchen!

Since I'm the Jefe I get to pick the music./img/vbsmilies/smilies/wink.gif If I open and I'm the only one in the restaurant I'll often crank up some old school heavy metal to get me woke up and rolling. Edguy, TNT, Iron Maiden, Primal Fear, Avantasia, JaMC, Built To Spill, Guided by Voices, etc- something that rocks. If I'm in the mood though it might be Neko Case, The Bird and the Bee, Melody Gardot, something mellow.

The youngsters don't dig all my stuff but I do have them hooked on Steel Panther./img/vbsmilies/smilies/lol.gif

I still remember the first time my old head chef played steel panther "Glory hole" in the kitchen.

My god it was a sea of laughter and shock, but my god did we all dig it!

I can't pick a top 5 songs.  I can't even pick a top genre, for that matter.  It all depends on my mood.  Most often I turn to Industrial and EDM (lots of Ministry, Front 242, KMFDM, etc.) but depending on my mood, it might also be classic Heavy Metal, 80's pop, classic rock, and even, occasionally, Hip Hop or Country (though those don't make the normal rotation, except for a few specific songs).  One place I worked in, we did a Bluegrass brunch and I would always have the live band, that performed that morning, come in and play a few tunes for the kitchen.  That always got everyone going!

I always remember venues with live music.. Muffled as it may be through, with the overheads sucking and knocking of cast iron pans, it was such a good vibe to throw into the mix with a good service!

Ahhhh...memories....

When I held court, it was classic rock.

It's nine o'clock am and Led Zeppilin is screaming out the kitchen doors......

When I bake bread I let my yeasty pets rock out to "Rise' by the Flobots

When I'm working the fish station 'Rock Lobster' by The B-52's
